Will it be a classic?

We bought a Mini Roadster JCW 6 months ago. Great car and much fun to drive. Heard that it has been withdrawn from the range now. Will it become a classic and hold its value well?

In 10 years time it will be rare, but will only be valuable if kept in perfect condition with as few miles as possible. Doesn't make sense to tuck it away and not use it at all because the return after 10 years won't be enough.
